Mine quantum-resistant Bitcoin. Hold it yourself.
Only download from this site. Is it safe? Why antivirus may flag it →
🔥 Want a lot more hashrate? Run easyBTX in WSL on this same PC. The Linux engine mines your NVIDIA card far harder than the native Windows build, and it updates itself from then on, no reinstalls. Set it up with WSL →
Download starting. If Windows blocks it, that's expected.
easyBTX isn't code-signed yet (normal for an indie miner), so the file is safe but your browser or Windows may stop it. To get it through:
- Open your browser's Downloads, find easyBTX-x64-setup.exe, and choose Keep (in Edge: ··· → Keep → Show more → Keep anyway).
- Run the installer. If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway.
Want to check it first? See the Windows VirusTotal scan.
First time opening it?
easyBTX is an indie app and currently unsigned (no paid signing certificate), so your computer warns you the first time. That's expected for small indie apps, and you only clear it once.
On Mac, macOS says it "can't verify the developer." Here's how to open it:
- Double-click easyBTX. When macOS blocks it, click Done.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the easyBTX notice and click Open Anyway.
- Confirm with Touch ID or your password. You only do this once.
If instead macOS says easyBTX is "damaged and can't be opened", that's just the download-quarantine flag on an unsigned app. Drag easyBTX into your Applications folder, then run this once in Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal):
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/easyBTX.app
Then open easyBTX normally. It's safe. That command only clears the "downloaded from the internet" tag macOS adds to unsigned apps; it doesn't change the app.
On Windows, SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC." Click More info, then Run anyway, and finish the install. That's the standard prompt for an unsigned indie app, not a sign that anything's wrong. There's no xattr step on Windows.
Unsigned indie app. Verify it yourself on VirusTotal: Mac scan · Windows scan · Linux scan. A few engines flag easyBTX as a miner / PUP / RiskTool, on Mac, Windows, and Linux. That's accurate (it really is a Bitcoin miner) and expected for any unsigned miner, not malware. Kaspersky even labels it "not-a-virus." Microsoft's "Trojan…!ml", which Windows Defender may also show, is a generic machine-learning false positive that hits unsigned indie apps everywhere. easyBTX is not a Trojan, and it mines only to a wallet you control. Code signing, Apple notarization on Mac and a signing certificate on Windows, clears these warnings and is on the roadmap.

NEW · LINUX & WSL · v0.9.7
Now on Windows + Linux, and it keeps itself current.
🔥 On Windows? The fast path is WSL. The Linux engine mines your very same NVIDIA card far harder than the native Windows build, and from the first run on, easyBTX updates itself. Set it up once, then forget about it.
- Updates itself, automatically. New versions download, verify, and install on their own, just like the Mac. No reinstalls, no commands. Every update is cryptographically signed end-to-end.
- Mines through blocked networks. On firewalled hotel, office, or campus Wi-Fi it falls back to a secure TLS connection on its own. No VPN.
- A built-in command cheat sheet. Copy-paste commands inside the app, each with a one-click Copy and a badge telling you exactly which terminal to use.
A one-click GPU miner for Mac, Windows, and Linux, with a built-in self-custodial wallet to receive, hold, and send your BTX.
